'Passengers' Trailer

Why Is This Important?

Because the plot seems like a fitting vehicle for both actors' talents.

Long Story Short

The trailer for Passengers has just been released and it happens to feature two of Hollywood’s most likeable actors, Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence.

Long Story

Beautiful, goofy and hugely popular – if you think about it, Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence are sort of like the male and female versions of one another. And the prospect of seeing Hollywood’s golden boy and girl on screen together is largely what makes the premise of Passengers so exciting.

The plot doesn’t exactly let the side down either – we mean, it’s set in space! Pratt and Lawrence play two passengers aboard a spaceship carrying 5,259 hibernating people to a human colony on a distant planet. Except these guys wake up 90 years too early and have to pass the time by (what looks like) getting it on and blowing things up.

Add to this a reputable director, Morten Tyldum of The Imitation Game fame, and a script that has already got Hollywood excited, and you’ve got the building blocks of a sure-fire hit. Or not? Passengers is released in cinemas on December 21st so, like Chris and J-Law, you’ll have to wait around to find out.
